''It's an extremely intricate show,'' King adds, ''and nothing can be off. Because if there is a slight change, not only will it throw Madonna off, but it could cause accidents, and we don't want that to happen.'' It already has. Dancer Ruthy Inchaustegui rolled her ankle in London during a practice run through of ''Music,'' and dancer Nito Larioza -- the guy who plays the samurai bent on decapitating Madonna -- broke his thumb during a martial arts scene. Luckily every routine has an understudy, but in Larioza's case, ''it's a big deal because he does so many things with Madonna,'' King says. ''And there's one thing that you don't want to do with Madonna: change up on her. She's very -- I'm sure you've heard this -- she's very particular.''
